Features

  • US COAST GUARD-APPROVED TYPE II PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD): This type 2 life jacket is designed to turn the wearer face-up in water. The life vest inflates automatically upon water immersion via a replaceable CO2 cylinder (includes 1 cylinder with purchase) or manually with a pull of the jerk to inflate cord or back-up oral inflation tube. Designed for commercial fisherman in mind this vest brings superior safety and performance to the recreational water enthusiast.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT, COOL AND COMFORTABLE: The life vest's wide neck opening and ergonomic chassis shape hugs the body where needed to stay secure without riding up on your neck. The life preserver's soft breathable collar prevents chafing, reduces moisture around the neck and dries quickly while 3D mesh through the shoulders, back, and waist conforms to the shape of the body and promotes air circulation.
  • SAFE AND SECURE: Bluestorm Gear's quick burst zipper technology keeps the life jacket secure during heavy fishing, boating, sailing, angling or water activities, yet opens rapidly when inflated.
  • SIZING INFORMATION: Dual side adjusters ensure a universal and snug fit for most adults. Recommened for chest sizes between 30" and 56". The Arcus 40 will generally fit those who wear adult size small, medium, large, XL, or XXL.
  • 2.5X HIGHER MINIMUM BUOYANCY: The Arcus 40 offers an outstanding 40 lbs of buoyancy, a 2.5x higher rating than Type 3 foam vest life jackets.

  • Very impressed with this PFD!
Color: H-Vis Green
Very good quality and fit and finish! One problem I encountered was similar to one review I read here. Missing cylinder. Come to find out there is another pocket inside where the float bag is rolled up that is where the cylinder is stored, not the outside regular pocket. Seller was/is sending me a replacement cartridge just in case I didn't find it. I may have notified them in time that I found it and was no longer needed. Excellent Customer Support as well. Got back to me right away (Monday anyway). Bought it for fishing at night from the boat. ... show more

  • Great product saved my life
Color: H-Vis Green
Was crossing a river for work and fell in. Right away it inflated and kept me afloat. It is light and very well made..

This PFD appears to be a really good quality product. Tried it on and enjoyed its comfort.

  • Very well made and comfortable
Color: Coastal Blue
I've tried a few inflatable lifevests, but this one is the one I prefer to wear. The problem is my wife prefers it also, I guess I'll have to buy another one.

  • Weak papework.
Color: H-Vis Green
Purchase advertising says it is manual or automatic. In reality it is those and has a blow up tube and whistle. Packaging says that the CO2 canister is in the right sleeve. A bit deceiving as there is a zippered pocket there that has nothing in it. The canister is well up the sleeve closer to armpit level and you have to unzip to that location. Very high quality. ... show more

  • Lightweight certainly my save my life solo sailing
Color: Coastal Blue
Well made. It can auto inflate, be manually inflated with the CO2 cylinder via a pull handle or even manually inflated via a tube if you have a bad or used cylinder. It’s Coastguard rated, many self inflating life vests are not.

  • Good Value for the money
Color: HD Orange
This was comfortable and easy to put on. The directions were clear and there were plenty of videos to access online on how to arm the PFD. Once reviewing the directions, it was easy to arm. It does not have the hooks for lifelines and a separate harness will need to be worn if you wish to attach to Jacklines. ... show more

  • Excellent build quality
Color: Coastal Blue
This vest is way heavier than I thought it would be, and a bit on the bulky side. It gets in the way of fishing some for sure. Haven't had to deploy it thank goodness, but it's a very robust vest. Very high quality materials.
